Sticker Removal on the SZ

Just want to know if the stickers come off cleanly without leaving residue. Only having had Mac notebooks the past few years I'm not used to all these stickers! There are big Sony stickers on each side of the trackpad, these I want to remove for sure. Has anyone also removed the Intel and Nvidia stickers for a perfectly clean palm rest?

 

i removed the 2 big stickers and they did come off very cleanly

the others = haven't removed them

 

i removed all of them and then they left a gooey residue i had to use googone and scrub a lot to get rid of the glue. but it looks better. what do you think mac vs sz?

 

After using th SZ since yesterday afternoon I have to say I love the SZ itself but I HATE Windows XP. You really only appreciate OS X after you use Windows, it is a night and day difference. The way Sony bundles all the nonsense is ridiculous. Someone mentioned there is a faq post on how to reformat the SZ but I don't see it, if you can point me to it I'd appreciate it. To tell the truth if Apple had something to compete with the SZ I'd have bought it in a heart beat but the new MacBook weighs 5.5 lbs with integrated graphics only and the SZ has the beautiful display and looks cool too.
Even the big stickers left residue? That's not cool.

 

i took them all off, and had to do no scrubbing. trick is to peel not rip. there will still be a little residue. But it can easily be removed with a damp cloth.

 

I took off all the stickers i.e. win XP, nvidia and intel. All with just my fingernail. No glue residues at all.
Once you get under, just peel them gently, then tap a couple of times with the sticker to get rid of glue pieces...

 

I was thinking about getting rid of the intels and nvidia, but left them. Now that I see others have done it, I will definitively do it to mine.

 

just tried taking of "vaio official warranty" sticker off~

no residues ^-^

 

I've removed the two big stickers so far, I used a normal hair dryer. Just aim it at the stickers for a couple of seconds (and keep your hand right next to the sticker, if the notebook surface gets more than hand warm, you're entering dangerous territory). Then you can just remove them in one go, they won't leave any residue or anything.

 

there was no damage when i scrubbed it off. it looks great and i did peal. i know the hair drier trick but on a hot computer that seems dangerous

 

their is a faq on the sony website on how to do a clean install and there is also one on this forum. do a search for sz clean install here try this url: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=44587 and go to the sony website and go to sz support and it's right in front. I cant believe apple of all people missed the ultralight ball game

 

You can get a liquid spray to remove gum, glue, and bugs from autoparts store. Don't spray it to your computer though the mist to the screen or other part of your computers might discolor it. Spray the thing to the scrubber first then apply it to the glue

 

Yeah, I did it with the notebook turned off, checked the temperature so the thing didn't get too hot (as I said, hand warm) - it should survive the temperature I exposed it to because it gets that hot on its own. And afterwards I didn't turn it on for a couple of hours, until it had cooled down.
The way I see it, the only thing that could actually have been damaged would be capacitors, but I assume it was too short for that.
